Auburn Area Community Theatre is excited to present The Last Round-Up of the Guacamole Queens. Written by “America’s Playwrights” Jones, Hope, & Wooten, one of whom wrote for classic television series The Golden Girls, this deliciously Southern-fried comedy is sure to leave you in stitches.The Verdeen cousins of Sweetgum, Texas, are up against the clock as they frantically attempt to produce the ultimate high school reunion before the old building is demolished. Their scramble to prepare the perfect event,impress the governor, and keep their business afloat is interrupted by the exploits of their beloved Uncle Aubrey, who is in danger of getting throttled by the two octogenarian sisters he is simultaneously wooing, and by threats from their self-righteous Aunt La Merle, who is determined to be crowned the final and forever Guacamole Queen. That’s before Peaches makes a date with a former classmate whose malevolent hand puppet has a score to settle. If you remember AACT’s performance of The Red Velvet Cake War, you know you won’t want to miss this! This gut-busting farce will make you laugh so hard, you might consider going to your own class reunion!Performances will take place at the Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center on 222 E Drake Ave.,Auburn, Alabama on May10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, 18that7 p.m. with matinees May 12th and 19th at 2 p.m.Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.
